The film, which is also set to shoot in Belgium, is a European co-production with Irish production company Fantastic Films involved along with Belgian company Frakas Productions and Denmark’s Ping Pong Films.

Deadline has said that the story follows a young woman (Poots) who, along with her fiancé (Eisenberg), is in search of the perfect starter home. After following a mysterious real estate agent to a new housing development, the couple becomes trapped in a maze of identical houses and forced to raise an otherworldly child.

The co-production is being produced by John McDonnell & Brendan McDonnell of Fantastic Films, along with Alexander Brøndsted & Antonio Tublen of Ping Pong Films, and Jean-Yves Roubin of Frakas Productions.

Imogen Poots was also recently unveiled to co-star alongside Irish actor Barry Keoghan on FX’s comic book adaptation of ‘Y: The Last Man’.

‘Vivarium’ is a co-production with funding coming from Screen Ireland, the Danish Film Institute, Eurimages, and Belgium’s Wallimage. The film is also supported by Creative Europe, Film4 and Frontiéres.
